SIMON AARONSON, OF NET" YORK, N. Y.

BAKE-PAN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 452,656, dated May 19, 1891. Application filed December 13, 1890. Serial No. 374,585. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SIMON AARONSON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bake-Pans; and Ido declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of the blank. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the pan. Figs. 3, 4, and 5 are sectional detail views of the corners, showing the different stages of formation.

This invention has relation to certain improvements in baking-pans and blanks therefor, the objectbeing to provide a blank so formed as to enable it to be bent into its finished shape by hand, obviating the use of heavy and expensive machinery. Further, to provide a finished article of superior quality and neatness.

WVith these objects in view, the invention consists in the construction of the blank and pan hereinafter set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the blank, of malleable sheet metal, which, originally of rectangular form, has its angles or corners obliquely cutaway, as shown, giving the block an octagonal form, having its opposite sides parallel. The sides CLCI/ are of greater length than the sides I) b and form the sides of the finished pan b 12, forming the ends thereof, and the obliquely cut corner portions a forming the corners. The corner portions 0 are each cut or split diagonally at a point exactly one-third of their width, as measured from the ends of the side-forming portions to a, said splits or cuts extending to the points, forming, respectively, the four corners of the bottom-forming portion, as shown. Small notches dare also cut from the central portion of each end-forming portion for the accommodation of the handles, as hereinafter described. The side and end forming portions are then bent up on the lines, as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 1, the corner-forming portions assuming the form and position shown in Fig. The larger part of each of the corner portions is then bent over and folded around the smaller portion, as shown in Fig; l, and the whole then bent over tightly against the outer surface of the transverse edge portions of the pan, as shown in Fig. 5 and indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2, and forming a double seam. Reenforcing wires h h are then placed in position, and the upper edges of the side portions bent over to inclose them, and this is preferably done before the sides and ends are bent into position. These wires are provided with the arms h h at right angles thereto, which extend around the corners and are inclosed in the overturned upper edges of the end portions, as shown in dotted lines, Fig. 2,handles II being also fixed in position at the same time. These handles consist each of a wire bent into their loops 70, forming the handles proper, and having the arms 7.: parallel with the longitudinal plane of said loop, and these arms are inclosed in the overturned upper edges of the end portions, these ends being adjacent to the ends of the arms h of the reenforcing wires 71, the notches d, hereinbefore referred to, permitting a slight play or pivotal movement of the handles, the vertical edge of the pan serving as bearings for the arms By splitting the corners in the manner indicated the blank maybe bent into form without the aid of machinery. The corner portions thus formed moreover unite in the manner described to form a neat and durable double-seamed re-enforced corner. The handle described may also be quickly put and held in place without the use of any clips, eyes, or rivets.

Having thus described my invention, wh at I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The herein-described octagonal blank for the purpose describedhavin g the central rectangular bottom-forming portions, the sideforming portions to a, the end-forming portions 1) b, the triangular corner-forming portions 0, located between the ends of the end and side forming portions, said corner-forming portions each having a diagonal slit at a point one-third of their width as measured from the ends of the side-forming portions or a, said slits extending to the points forming, re-

spectively, the four corners of the bottomiorming portion, substantially as specified.

2. The herein-described bake-pan, comprising the octagonal blank having its end and side portions bent up to form the end and side portions of the pan and its triangular corner port-ions slitt ed in the proportion of one to three, bent up, interlocked, and doubleseamed to form the corners of the pan, the upper edges of the side portions being overturned to inclose l'e-enforcing Wires and the upper edges of the end portions being overturned to inclose arms of said wires and the lateral arms of the handles, said end portions also having recesses cut therein to permit the play of the said handles, snbstantiall y as specified.

3. The baking-pan formed from an oetagonal blank bent up at the sides and ends to form the sides and ends of the pan, the triangular portions of said blank between the side and end forming portions being slitted diagonally into two parts, having the proportion to each other of one to two, said portions being interlocked and double-seamed, in the manner shown and described, to form the corners of the pan, the upper edges of said side and end portions overturned and inclosing the re-enforoing arms and the lateral arms of the handle-loops loosely bearing therein, said end portions being cut away thereat to permit the movement of said handies in a vertical plane, substantially as de scribed.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
